Apple and Peanut Salad

A simple, refreshing and crunchy salad. Mix and match the types of apples with whatever you have on hand to give complex flavor as well as a more colorful salad. Recipe taken from Meta Givens "The Modern Family Cook Book" 1942

5 medium-sized eating apples
juice of 1 lemon
1 medium stalk celery, diced
1/2 cup mayonnaise 
1/2 cup coarsely chopped peanuts
lettuce

• Peel, quarter, and core apples.
• Cut into 1/2-inch dice and sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent discoloration.
